Copper Mono Success on Big Game

[dårlig jeger]

It seems like we have a _______ success on big game thread for most every caliber, but I am interested in a success thread for copper monos of any caliber/cartridge.

I am interested more and more in shooting copper. I went hunting with a 308 shooting 130ttsx at 3025fps with the idea of keeping shots under 300 yards but haven't been able to connect yet.

So please share any success photos or stories you have when shooting monos on big game.

Thanks!

Took a cow elk at 340ish yards with a 300 win mag shooting Barnes 165 TTSX. High lung on the first shot sent shock waves through her I could see in my scope. She staggered and I put one mid body to try and stop her. Next follow up hit her while she was falling down. All 3 passed through. Whole ordeal was about 10 seconds and she died 5 ft from where she stood for the 1st shot. I'm pretty sure shots 2 and 3 were just me keeping busy until she fell.

I wouldn’t even know where to start. Been shooting them for decades and have seen thousands of animals fall to them.Rest assured, the load you are considering will work just fine.

168 gr TTSX in my 30-06 has been a one shot success for 4 deer in the last 4 years for me. All sub 200 yard shots.

280 AI with 150 grain Stone Hammers has taken three Afognak elk. From 150 to 280 yards. Two fell within steps of where they were, the big bull walked about 50 yards. Pass throughs on the first two, the shank here recovered from the big bull. High lung shot there. Petals did their jobs on the vitals of all three.

Also several Kodiak black tailed deer with 6.5 CM and 124 grain Hammer Hunters. No fragments recovered from them. Generally 100-200 yard shots, and fell within feet.
